In the afternoons, I work at a daycare & preschool in a nearby town. It is my favorite job so far. The children ALWAYS have something to smile about. The most amazing feeling is the vibes these kids give me. As soon as I come in their door, it's all "Miss Brittany, Miss Brittany! I love you!" And there are also the more popular lines of "she hit me. I have a booger. Wipe my nose. I gotta go potty!" Either way, I love hearing the kids talk to me. Going to work is like taking care of a family. I have to make sure everyone is fed, clean, and happy. Not to mention, safe. Moral being, I absolutely love the fact that me and other teachers in the building are putting a smile on some kid's face, somehow.
This past week, I have been working a full day at the daycare in the 2-year olds classroom. I'm there for breakfast, snack, lunch, and snack. Also, I'm there to take the kids potty and change their diapers if need be. That's the icky part of the job.
My job has become almost like a lifestyle and I wouldn't have it any other way. It's a Christian-based school, therefore, I am required to talk professional and be a leader to the children. This provides not only a positive attitude for me in the work place, but an attitude that carries over off-duty hours. I have experienced nothing that makes me this happy. I can safely say I am one of the luckiest people to have the job that I have. I love seeing these kids smile and watch as their little light bulbs switch on. I don't need a degree to tell me I can and will continue to change someone's life.
